Join Jesus to Italy

This summer hundreds of young missionaries will fill Italy’s streets with dance, dramas, worship and preaching of the Gospel. The message is simple: “Italy, Jesus has saved you! Do you want to receive Him?”

-While we laid our hands on the map of Italy and prayed, I suddenly got this idea about extending our mission fields. Instead of sending missionaries only to one city like we had done earlier, why not send the youth into every region of the country, tells Giona Sproloquio, who has been a missionary in Jesus Revolution for six years. This was the start of the biggest mission project Jesus Revolution has ever done. The project, Impact Italy, seeks to gather hundreds of young missionaries from all over the world, give them intensive training and then send them out to different cities to tell people about Jesus.

“Our goal is to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ capture and save Italy. We also hope and pray that this project will inspire and encourage Italian youth to get more involved in missions and to be the salt and light in their nation”, says Sproloquio, who grew up in the city of Torino.

Many Italian leaders join in

After the idea was born in the winter of 2005, the pastor and founder of Jesus Revolution, Stephan Christiansen, travelled to Italy for a national conference. There he shared his mission plans and Italian leaders greeted his ideas with great enthusiasm. Since then the project has accelerated and reached new dimensions. – The project has grown a lot. “Many local churches in Italy have joined the project and want to get involved in the different outreaches in the various regions”, says Sproloquio. So far this is the largest mission project that has taken place in Italy, and Sproloquio has seen that Italian pastors are full of expectancy and gratefulness for the initiative. So far there has been little evangelistic work in these regions. One of the regions we are going into is actually the region with the least amount of missions work in all of Italy. “It will be exciting to see how people respond”, says Sproloquio who is partly responsible for the mission project. The greatest challenge so far has been to coordinate the mission trip and mobilize enough missionaries. So far the USA is the most involved nation with the most missionaries involved. Norway is yet a little behind, but we feel confident that they will also contribute greatly to the project.

Training and out reach

The 30th of June the young missionaries, ages 14 – 29, will gather in Bologna, Italy. They will be split into teams and will receive five days of intensive teaching and missions training. Afterwards they will be sent out into different regions to hold street meetings consisting of dance, drama, worship and preaching of the Gospel.

Finally they will all gather in Rome to celebrate Jesus!
